Things to know when you get cancer – 2026 Edition
opinion
3 min read
Things to know if you get cancer (2026 Edition) I was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma in my mouth in May 2026. Here are some things I learned based on that experience so far. - You need to be doggedly persistent on scheduling things. Yes this means lots of phone calls. If you get an appointment a few weeks out, call back a few days later and ask for something sooner and see if they have any...
Containment and monitoring failures are to blame for AI hacking reports: experts
news
8 min read
Cyber experts say AI labs’ containment and monitoring failures — not agents with minds of their own — are to blame for recent alarming hacking reports. CISOs should vet their AI vendors and tighten security basics as safeguards. endif; ?>Since July, US frontier AI labs and other AI leaders have revealed a string of incidents in which their models accessed external computer systems without authoriz...

Cloudflare acquires Deno
3 min read
Deno is joining Cloudflare For years, we’ve been working to make building server software simpler. We questioned how modules could be distributed, what security guarantees a JavaScript runtime could provide, what belonged in a complete toolchain, and how easily an application could be distributed as a standalone executable. Compatibility with Node.js became an important part of that work too: our ...

When did Google get so weird?
2 min read
When did Google get so f-ing weird? I recently had an experience while doing a simple Google search that was so profoundly weird that it stopped me in my tracks. Understanding this Google search experience involves understanding a niche mid-2010s basketball meme, so bear with me for a minute. In 2014 the Philadelphia 76ers drafted Dario Saric, who was playing basketball professionally in Turkey at...
Breaking Up with Google Play: Why Conversations Is Now Free

Breaking Up with Google Play: Why Conversations Is Now Free Conversations, my federated instant messaging client for Android, started out as many traditional open-source projects do: as an attempt to scratch my own itch. Development started in January 2014 in my student dormitory, and within weeks I started dogfooding and using the client as the primary means of communicating with my friends. Howe...

I Built Non-Autoregressive Decision Models with RL a Year Ago
10 min read
Everyone in AI right now is talking about a new kind of model: an architecture that is not autoregressive, does not generate text, and gives lightning-fast probability predictions over structured schemas. Seeing the hype online feels both validating and deeply frustrating. I worked on this literally one year back in March 2025. I spent months of hard work, sweat, and sleepless nights building it, ...

Why is Google still serving dodgy ads?
3 min read
TLDR: AI is really good at detecting deceptive adverts - why isn’t Google using it? A couple of months ago I noticed this advert popping up in the YouTube app. The main reason I noticed it is that I accidentally clicked it - I knew I was running out of space on my iPhone and a minor lapse of concentration caught me out. These things can slip through even the best review processes, so I did my inte...
A misalignment of AI in mathematics
4 min read
Over the last few months, the mathematical capabilities of LLMs have improved dramatically, to the point that they can solve major outstanding problems in many fields of mathematics. However, the push by AI companies to solve mathematical problems as a benchmark is detrimental to the science of mathematics, and to the mathematical community. The goals of the AI companies and the goals of the mathe...

Discovery of a new OpenAI agent message board
37 min read
We found ~18,000 posts from autonomous AI agents (self-identifying as from OpenAI) using the public internet to communicate during a web-retrieval task. These AIs colluded to share answers, research their environment, and bypass sandbox restrictions.However, we believe this is distinct from the swarm of agents that hacked Hugging Face. By ‘collude’ we mean that the agents cooperated to gain an adv...

“It works better in the app”

The monkey-punchers at Google never quite seem to finish any of their apps. There's always some useful bit of work left undone, or showstopping bug which remains unfixed, a thousand jagged edges as yet unsolved by the greatest minds of their generation. I wanted to subscribe to an events calendar. I had a URl. I had my Google™ Pixel® phone running the latest Android© 17 with an updated calendar a…

AI is just unauthorised plagiarism at a bigger scale AI takes in all the input, whether the original authors have consented or not, and do some "learning", and then the AI companies sell these learned result to humans, without compensating the original authors.

An OpenAI model has disproved a central conjecture in discrete geometry

An OpenAI model has disproved a central conjecture in discrete geometry For nearly 80 years, mathematicians have studied a deceptively simple question: if you place points in the plane, how many pairs of points can be exactly distance apart? This is the planar unit distance problem, first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946. It is one of the best-known questions in combinatorial geometry, easy to state an...

I strongly believe there are entire companies right now under heavy AI psychosis and its impossible to have rational conversations about it with them. I can't name any specific people because they include personal friends I deeply respect, but I worry about how this plays out. I
